try dumping your "images" array, and you'll see that you do have an array of the images. so yes, it is a "real" array. indexOf() returns the element in the array that contains the string searched for. NOT the substring. your array doesn't have an element "_1thumb.jpg", so yes... the output of #temp# -should- be 0. your code is outputting exactly what you're asking it to output. there may very well be a more elegant way, but to find a substring in an array of strings, i'm afraid you'd have to loop over the array and testing each element (<cfif ...
